Faculty who become a sponsor for a Visiting Research Fellow or Senior School Fellow, will be expected to act as a point of contact and to make reasonable attempts to integrate them into the life of the School where appropriate.
The sponsor's role may include:
- Supporting the applicant through the visiting fellow application process
- Introducing them to other members of the School
- Guiding applicants to relevant areas of the US campus and facilities e.g. Housing Office website in advance of visit
- Meeting with the fellow from time to time to answer any questions they may have or direct them to someone who can help them
